Some days I get so busy
With all the words He gives
The Holy Spirit speaks to me
To let me know I’m His
When I seem to lag behind
In my chores around the house
i wish I had a doppleganger
Just to help me out
He could do the needed things
To make my living sweet
While I take time to listen close
And hear the Master speak
It’s then I’ll hear Him whisper
These little rhymes of mine
Then I will write them down for you
And keep them for all time
In response to the daily prompt Doppelgänger
Today we have a well-spring
Of brand new worship songs
It seems that heaven’s opened
For us to sing along
Our countenance is glad
As we raise our voices high
Our hearts in sheer delight
Our hands raise to the sky
I love this age of worship
I love new worship songs
The Lord is good to give me
Many of my own
Now I may seem quite archaic
When I say the old-time hymns
Still reach deep down inside me
And draw me close to Him
The Old Rugged Cross
I Surrender All
Victory In Jesus
My soul these songs call
He Hideth My Soul
To God Be The Glory
Great is Thy Faithfulness
All tell His story
Blessed Assurance
Amazing Grace
Usher me in
To see His face
I know you have others
Quite dear to your heart
Let’s sing old and new
And touch Jesus heart
In response to the daily prompt Archaic
I’m pretty bad about
Trying to figure out
What other’s are thinking about
Usually I am wrong
And it doesn’t take too long
For me to feel like a ding-dong
But that’s what can happen
When we make an assumption
It’s not a wise thing to do
Because all of us know
I don’t have to show
To assume makes a donkey out of you
So never say you know
Where someone will go
Just because there life isn’t like yours
They may know the Savior
And be headed to heaven
But we think they’re bound for hell’s doors
In response to the daily prompt Assumption
What are we doing on this earth
Spinning around the Sun
Amidst a universe so grand
The stars placed one by one?
Why have we been given this place
Where life’s so beautiful?
What caused the heaven’s to create a place
Where our lives can be so full?
These questions remind me every day
How God gives us His grace
He is so majestic I bow down
And give to Him my praise
My goals in life must disappear
So I can follow Him
I pray He will guide me everyday
By His sweet voice within
In response to the daily prompt Disappear
We see it way to often in this cold world of ours
A person has more interest in himself than others
His life is filled with doubt and chronic pessimism
And no one can look past his blatant narcissism
I was once that man who regarded only me
But then God came along and dropped me to my knees
He said to love the other more than myself alone
Just like I have sent my son for your sins to atone
I gave my heart to Him that day and now He is my Lord
I do my best to walk each day according to His word
He leads me to give more respect to others than myself
The golden rule alive and well is how I choose to dwell
In response to the daily prompt Narcissism
I’d always been planning on heaven
Ever since I was a lad
My church taught that we
Would go there for free
For Jesus had paid the tab
Then I learned there was one complication
That I had not learned before
If I don’t repent
My sins won’t relent
Jesus must be made my Lord
So I knelt down there in the church pew
I asked Jesus into my heart
He took away
My sin stains that day
He gave me a brand new start
In response to the daily prompt Complication
I’m going through chemo so I wear a mask
Protecting from germs is the point of that task
My whole immune system is shot from the drugs
I don’t need to end up diseased with a bug
But there’s something else I must guard against
The sin that will infect my soul is intense
It creeps in so subtly and plants itself deep
If I will make sure my guard does not sleep
But if I should get caught away in my sin
I have a Savior who heals me within
He gave himself freely at Calvary
Now His grace and mercy will be there for me
In response to the daily prompt Infect
When it comes to the mercy of my God
I don’t know where to start
He gave His only beloved Son
To purify my heart
When I think of the grace that he bestows
The list grows rather long
Day after day His blessings flow
And to me they belong
And when I think of the patience He and with me
I don’t know where to begin
I was running from Him for oh so long
I’m sure it was running thin
But He loved me then and He loves me know
And He’ll love me forevermore
I can only lift up my heart and sing
To my precious, wondrous Lord
In response to the daily prompt Thin
He cam to a manger, cold and bare
To be born of a lowly virgin there
He grew as a son to a carpenter
Learning the trade and how to work
He taught only what He heard from above
He showed us all of His Father’s love
He served day and night as the people came
He treated them all as they were the same
Then they hailed Him as soon and coming King
They shouted Hosanna His praises they sing
A few days later they had changed their cry
They looked up at Him and cried crucify
They beat Him and mocked Him and laughed Him to scorn
They put on His head a crown of long thorns
They made Him carry His cross down the street
Then they put long sharp spikes in His hands and feet
He gave up His life on the cross that day
He died for us all and the price He did pay
He left heaven’s home to set us free
He put aside His royal pedigree
For God loved us so much He gave us His son
That all who believed in this meek holy one
Would find that their life would now be set free
And they’d live in heaven eternally
In response to the daily prompt Pedigree
I look around at all the people running to and fro
I cannot help but wander where they all will go
For one day soon the clouds will part above
Jesus will return and gather those who He does love
I cannot look and see which ones will go with Him that day
I cannot determine who has followed in His ways
You see there’s only one thing that will qualify us then
Only one slight difference that no one can pretend
We must have Jesus as our Lord and Savior of our lives
We must have seen out wretchedness and asked Him to forgive
We must have turned away from things displeasing in His sight
We must now walk with Him each day and follow in His light
Will you be one to rise and meet Him on that fateful day
Will you avoid the wrath of God that’s coming anyway
If you have not decided yet and given Him your heart
Make today the day that you ask Him to be Lord
In response to the daily prompt Slight
